Have been wondering some of the same things. Hopefully, the media will take extra care to get the facts exactly correct, and post exact words and sources, rather than "opinions."
Some people don't know that an article should be considered news, and should express as little opinion as possible~unless it is a ByLine piece... If it is a ByLine piece, it will have someones name on the piece, and it should be on the Op-Ed page, NOT on the front page as "News"............
After the tech-wreck that many of us have experienced in the last two+ years, not only as employees, but as stockholders, it would seem to me that people would exercise extra care in getting *facts*.... after all....
Some things to think about:
--If you were a CEO, or officer, or board member of a Fortune 500, or even 1000 company, and had any of the major accounting firms doing your auditing, wouldn't you want to be sure they were doing their job correctly?
--If you are a shareholder in any of these companies, wouldn't you want to be sure of that too?
--Where has the SEC been in the past several years on this???
--And what about the financial institutions, both investment banking, as well as brokerages...? Are there any responsibilities here?
How about any of the analysts? |
